Faking all the way

According to the advertisements in the newspapers, I was going to learn “How to Live to Be 100 Plus!" "It’s free,” said one ad, “and if you are less than a century old, what have you got to lose?” So, since I am not quite that old, off I went, pen and notebook in hand, to a lecture in Tucson conducted by Earl Mindell, R.Ph., Ph.D., “noted nutritionist, pharmacist, lecturer . . . and author of the best selling Earl Mindell’s Vitamin Bible." The lecture was sponsored by two Great Earth Vitamin Stores located in the Tucson area. Mindell helped found the Great Earth chain of health food stores, which, numbering about 200, is now the nation’s second largest. He has also written Earl Mindell’s Vitamin Bible for Your Kids, Earl Mindell’s Pill Bible, Earl Mindell’s Quick & Easy Guide to Better Health, and Earl Mindell’s Shaping Up with Vitamins—books whose total sales are in the millions. Mindell claims to hold valid credentials in nutrition. Although he does have a bachelor’s degree in pharmacy from North Dakota State University, his Ph.D. is from the University of Beverly Hills, an unaccredited school which lacks a campus or laboratory facilities. During his speech, Mindell also said that he studied at Rutgers University, but representatives in Rutgers’ records office whom I contacted could find no record of this. Mindell’s Vitamin Bible was written while he was working toward his Ph.D. His adjunct faculty adviser for the project was James Kenney, Ph.D., R.D., who is currently a nutritionist at the Pritikin Longevity Center in Santa Monica, California. Kenney reviewed the manuscript while tutoring Mindell and told him that it contained over 400 errors, more than 100 of which were important. Kenney told me that most of the errors remain in the published edition. The acknowledgements section of the book recognizes Dr. Kenney for his help and also thanks the American Medical Association, the National Academy of Sciences, the National Dairy Council, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the Nutrition Foundation, “without whom a project of this scope could never have been completed.” However, the fact that all these prestigious organizations would strenuously disagree with information in the book is not mentioned. In a section entitled “The Whole Truth,” Vitamin Bible tells what each vitamin and mineral can supposedly do for you and gives advice for self treatment with supplements of many of them. For example, it suggests pantothenic acid for tingling hands and feet, vitamin D for conjunctivitis, and calcium for menstrual cramps. This section also promotes substances which Mindell calls “vitamins” B10, B11, B13, B15, B17, P, T, and U. There is no evidence that any of these substances are essential to humans or that supplements of any of them are beneficial. Furthermore, B15 (pangamic acid) and B17 (laetrile) pose health risks. Another section of the book recommends self-treatment with supplements for more than 50 ailments and conditions including, acne, bad breath, baldness, headaches, measles, mumps, prostatitis, syphilis, gonorrhea and warts. In Vitamin Bible for Kids, Mindell advises parents who suspect that their child is deficient in any nutrient to consult a “nutritionally oriented doctor” or (if mineral deficiency is suspected) to obtain a hair analysis. Among other things, the book recommends vitamin supplements for acne, bronchitis, athletes foot, canker sores, chicken pox, clumsiness, colitis, dandruff, diabetes, forgetfulness, impetigo, insect bites, prickly heat, poison ivy, stomachaches, tonsillitis, and warts. For multiple sclerosis, it recommends orotic acid, which Mindell refers to as vitamin B13. And for children “whose little white lies are growing darker,” he recommends eliminating sugars, refined starches, and junk foods from the diet and supplementing with B-complex vitamins. Mindell is co-editor of Keats Publishing Company’s “Good Health Guides,” a large series of booklets promoting dozens of questionable supplements. His fellow editor is Richard A. Passwater, whose “Ph.D.” is from Bernadean University, an nonaccredited correspondence school that was never legally authorized grant any degrees. Mindell has also written information sheets that are distributed as educational material in health food stores. Although all of them warn that the information they contain “is not intended as medical advice but only as a guide in working with your doctor,” it is clear that health food stores are using them to boost product sales by making claims that would be illegal on product labels. The Lehigh Valley Committee Against Health Fraud has collected more than 60 of these articles dated between 1980 and 1984. Some of them describe how various vitamins, minerals and amino acids function in the body and provide tidbits on research involving these substances. Others promote such products as ginseng, bee pollen, chelated minerals, kelp (to help the thyroid gland), yucca extract tablets (for arthritis), papaya (to help digestion), octacosonol ("the amazing energy sustainer"), and golden seal root (for stomach and liver troubles). Most of the information sheets are misleading, and many contain errors. In #63, for example, Mindell states that research done at Temple University in Philadelphia found that rats fed dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) lost weight. What actually happened, however, was that rats who received dosages 50 times greater than those marketed for humans did not lose weight but merely gained less than expected. Great Earth was one of many companies selling DHEA pills as a "fat fighter” until the FDA ordered all DHEA products off the marketplace in the spring of 1985 . Flyer #44B suggests that supplements of glucomannan (a plant fiber) are an effective appetite suppressant—which they are not. A previous version of this flyer claimed that studies conducted by Judith Stern, D.Sc., of the University of California at Davis, showed that subjects taking glucomannan lost more weight than control subjects. Actually, no significant differences were found between the two groups, and mention of Dr. Stern was deleted after she threatened to take legal action. Flyer #4B suggests that supplementation with lecithin can prevent heart disease, aid anemia, strengthen weak muscles, reverse psoriasis, improve memory and balance, and even “appears to help multiple sclerosis.” (Mindell sometimes calls lecithin “the Roto-Rooter of the nutritional world” because “it cleans out blood vessel walls.") Flyer #31 claims that superoxide dismutase (SOD) is an “anti-aging enzyme” which may be effective against arthritis, atherosclerosis, cancer and senility. Even if this were true, SOD in pill form could not possibly be effective. Tests on animals have shown that oral supplementation does not affect tissue SOD activity—a finding easily predictable from the fact that SOD, like all other proteins, would be digested rather than absorbed intact into the body. Flyers #9A and #9B endorse the theory of Dr. Benjamin Frank that increasing intake of RNA and DNA through dietary measures or supplements will “reverse the aging process.” Nucleic acids, found in all living matter, are basic to cell reproduction. Like SOD, however, those that are eaten are digested and never reach the cells intact. Moreover, nucleic acids are like specific blueprints. If DNA and RNA from yeasts or sardines could actually work in humans, they would turn them into young yeasts or baby sardines Mindell says that everyone should take supplements. He claims that foods from the grocery store are depleted of vitamins and minerals and, therefore, are nutritionally inadequate. He says that smokers need extra vitamin C, those who drink alcohol need extra B-vitamins, and that women taking birth control pills need extra B6. During his talk in Tucson, Mindell said he personally takes “20-odd” supplements twice daily. He also said that “natural” vitamins like natural vitamin C with rose hips are better than synthetic ones. Even Linus Pauling, whom Mindell frequently quotes, has pointed out that there is no difference between the two in nutritional value. Mindell’s lecture included advice that is potentially dangerous. He said, for example, that vitamin A is safe in amounts up to 100,000 IU per day and that any potentially toxic doses carry warnings. Neither of these statements is true. Cases have been reported in which daily dosage with 25,000 IU of vitamin A has caused toxic levels to build up in the body over periods of months or years. And supplements of this strength do not contain warning labels. Mindell also recommended exclusive use of whole grains and said these cannot be harmful unless massive amounts are eaten. Whole-grain foods are perfectly fine for people who are healthy as long as they don’t eat too many of them. However, whole grains contain phytates, which can prevent mineral absorption. Americans with borderline intakes of some minerals could become mineral deficient by consuming excessive amounts of whole cereal grains and fiber. Mindell told the audience that 300 milligrams daily of zinc supplementation is safe, but research reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association shows that dosages of more than 150 milligrams daily may cause serious copper loss. According to Dr. Harold Sandstead, a major zinc researcher, people who take more than 50 milligrams of zinc a day should have their copper levels monitored. In fact, it has been reported that supplements of only 15 milligrams per day can cause above-normal copper loss . At one point during his talk, Mindell tried to persuade a member of the audience to follow his advice rather than that of his doctor by claiming that medical doctors are ignorant about vitamins. Now retired from active management of his stores, Mindell spends much of his time writing, lecturing and appearing on talk shows. Despite the astonishing number of inaccuracies he has been promoting—his ideas are rarely questioned by members of the media who encounter him. Read the full article

Grant Cardone – An Arrogant, Self-Obsessed Narcissist

Do you know what a narcissist is? If you don’t know then take a look at some of the content of Grant Cardone and you will understand the meaning of this word easily. Grant Cardone is a self-obsessed, egoistic, greedy guy who tries every possible tactic to get money from you. Like many other BS-selling motivational gurus, Grant Cardone’s products contain no value and cost a ton. Scientologist Grant Cardone Showers in the Nude with His Nine Year Old Daughter Days Before His “10X Growth Conference 3” with Spanx CEO Sarah Blakely and Others.After briefly showing Grant filming himself on his phone, she later shows off their shower area, and asks Grant to “cover yourself up.” We then see Cardone under a double shower head, holding a towel in front of himself. Elena then asks their naked 9-year-old daughter to peek out behind her father, and points out that they’re showering together. “This is living, ha boo?” Elena says. Now, in some cultures it might not be too unusual for a man to be showering with his 9-year-old daughter, but for Americans like the Cardones, it seems a little off-putting, to say the least. And we can’t help thinking about Scientology’s dictum that children are actually ancient beings in small packages. You buy a GC course and you get nothing. How can I say all this? Because I had the subscription of the f*cking Grant Cardone University for my entire team. It cost me a lot. This f*cking thief stole money from me through his fake promises and made up lies. I wish I never bought that course. It only got me entrapped in Grant Cardone’s nonsensical rubbish. It is important that you know the reality of Grant Cardone. Because if you don’t then you can also fall prey to this depraved and aggressive assh*le. I’m certain that you won’t be able to find anything negative for this guy, which is concrete and convincing. I WOULD NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH GRANT CARDONE. His staff is always pre-occupied and they don’t have time to hear your side or your problems. NOOOO! They only want you to buy something from them. Yes, whenever you talk to them, it should be about making a deal. If you don’t buy something from Grant Cardone, you will be spammed 24/7. I always curse the day when I first contacted these guys for getting me the course. It didn’t take them long to ruin my enthusiasm and show their true colours. My experience with this largely headed drug-addict has been torturing. I wish those days never existed. Alas, I can’t change history. But I hope to alert anybody else who is thinking of becoming a GC student or thinking of working with (or for) Grant Cardone. If you don’t want to read the entire complaint, you can simply read the following sentence: “Stay away from Grant Cardone”. If you have sufficient time, please take a look at my experiences. You can thank me later when you save those thousands of dollars in the future. https://youtu.be/uTvAmIItzPY GC University is Overpriced Trash (My Experience) If you take any interest in entrepreneurship or business growth, Grant Cardone will begin to pop up in your feed. Whether it’s on YouTube or Instagram, Grant Cardone succeeds in finding his way in your feed. He claims to own real estate worth in hundreds of millions of dollars. He claims to be one of the best marketers present on this planet and he also claims to be the best salesperson. He is a total jerk who never hesitates in rubbing his success on someone’s face. I had seen some of his content and one of my team members was a fan of this guy. Why? Because Grant says that chasing money isn’t wrong. That’s a good view but having a unique perspective on things doesn’t allow the guy to start lying and start scamming people. That’s what Grant does. He scams people. He is so full of himself that he doesn’t even care about his customers. His employees follow his footsteps and they behave the same way. They don’t hesitate to use cuss words with their customers. I remember hearing a customer support representative saying, “I will keep f*cking calling you until you give me your business, sir.” What the hell is that? No f*cking customer support executive talks to the customers like that. Grant’s staff should know better, after all, they work under the biggest marketer on the planet. Well, my team member who was also the fan of Grant wanted me to try his content. I wasn’t interested. No, I wasn’t interested in this guy at all. Then he started telling me how Grant has built a huge empire through his cunning and intelligence and how his knowledge can benefit our company. Now, he had got my attention. My sales weren’t looking good so I thought I should get a training course. I guess he had brought up the point at that time because he knows I was looking for some training material. Anyway, I visited the website of Grant Cardone University and I was amazed to see so many experts there. There were plenty of positive testimonials present on the website praising the course in numerous ways so I thought it would be perfect for my team. Now, Grant Cardone University is quite costly. Even for a single individual, it charges around $10,000 for a year’s access. Even after the discount, the amount drops to $1000 but that still is a considerable investment for a person. If the individual plan alone costs this much, you can imagine how expensive the corporate plan was. However, there weren’t any popular trainers available at the moment and from what I saw, Grant Cardone was looking quite legitimate. The cost for their corporate plan is not disclosed on their website and because they had made me sign a huge T&Cs document, I don’t know if I should mention its cost price here. So, I won’t mention the amount. However, you should that it was in tens of thousands of dollars. When I bought the course, it was full of a lot of lessons and programs. It was just too much for a person to consume but I had already made a staggering investment and I couldn’t back down, right? If I had any f*cking idea that the course will turn out to be a hoax, I would have never made such a huge investment. I lost a huge sum, I tell you. If I had spent that money on something worthy, my business would have seen some real growth. I kept up with the course for around 2-3 months. Corporate training consisted of no valuable information. There were some titbits which seemed to be of value but they were just the ideas which Grant believed in. And if you would take a look at his YouTube content, you’ll guess what those ideas are. I had bought the subscription for 5 months. After 3 months, I realized that I don’t need to keep the course so I asked them to cancel my subscription. This is where they made the biggest mistake. They told me that I should hang on to the course and buy a year’s subscription for my team. The whole course is online and told me that it has a lot of content to offer. But I had already made up my mind. I didn’t want to waste any more time of my team on some nonsensical course which never made any sense in the first place. I told them to cancel my subscription and after a little arguing, they did it. But they didn’t give me a refund. You know why? Because Grant Cardone University DOESN’T HAVE A REFUND POLICY! I wasn’t asking for a refund of the three months I had used the course fro. No, I was asking for the refund for the two months which I had bought but didn’t use. Their no refund policy is mentioned somewhere in their gigantic Terms and Conditions. My torture had only started. Soon, my email and my phone were spammed continuously by Grant’s people. My feed was filled with Grant’s content. I was as if I had hit a beehive because a swarm was chasing me. His salespeople kept pressuring me to buy more of his products or services. My experience has been pitiful and full of disappointment. I can tell you one thing: Never do business with any of Cardone’s products. You will only hurt yourself. About Grant Cardone So Grant has his own Wikipedia page, which states that he was born on 21st March 1958 in Louisiana (Lake Charles). He graduated from the LaGrange High School in 1976and went to McNeese State University for 4 years after which he got his Bachelor of Science in Accounting. Grant Cardone knows how to build a brand for himself and he has done exactly that with his brand. He has a fabricated story which he uses EVERYWHERE. This story has been published on Inc., Investopedia and many other places. Grant has many connections in high places which he uses for the sole purpose of self-promotion. All these stories say that Grant used to do a lot of drugs (which can definitely be true) until the age of 24, after which he changed his life completely. He started working as a car salesman after college, where he sucked. He claims that he changed his whole life with hard work and passion, but I don’t think that it is the case. One thing is for sure, Cardone is a high-pressure drug addict who earns money by deceiving people. In one of his videos, he claims he uses TRT and steroids. There are so many things wrong about Grant and the worst thing is that people listen to him and follow him blindly. The kind of attitude which Grant is promoting is certainly not healthy. His fake persona on the internet is really harmful to the youth and the millennials. Other people who have suffered because of Grant Cardone I found out that I’m not the only one who has dealt with the real side of Grant Cardone. There are quite a lot of people who have suffered because of him. Cardone is a really selfish guy and if anyone tries to tell the truth about him or his company, he attacks them with his full potential. Most of the critical reviews on Grant Cardone or Cardone Industries are taken down by the reputation management team of Cardone. This way, they keep running their syndicate without any hiccups or potential problems. Most of the complaints that are against his companies are removed but with more and more people telling the truth, Grant’s rep management team has failed to remove a few of the complaints from the internet. Remove me from the marketing list I want to be removed from the marketing list of Cardone Training Technologies! I was contacted by the sales and marketing team of Cardone Training Technologies this week and I clearly told them that I don’t want to be part of their program. Even then he contacted me almost immediately after that and I said the same thing, I don’t want to be on your list. But guess what? He called me 5 times more and I repeated the same sh*t over and over again. And he STILL didn’t remove me from the list. I didn’t have any interest whatsoever in their program but I’m part of their list, every after asking them a dozen times. I know that Grant uses high-pressure sales techniques but this is just too much. All I request is to be removed from the marketing list so I can live a disturbance-free life. They charged me without asking me I had to pay for their live show passes without my consent. I only clicked on their link and they automatically used the credit card that was linked to my profile. This is totally unethical and I want my money back. I bought the book of Grant Cardone which only required me to pay for the shipping, but they kept my credit card info with them and charged me! I only wanted to see what the price was and they instantly charged my credit card without even asking me. This type of stuff shouldn’t be allowed and Grant’s company is just stealing people’s money. What do his employees think about him? So it seems that Grant Cardone treats his employees like shit. My own experience with Cardone’s employees has been disgusting. They lack professionalism and basic manners. However, after own experience with Grant Cardone, I decided to search this thing up and I found out A TON of reviews on Cardone Industries. And while some of them gave it 3-4 stars, most of the reviews are of 1-star reviews. This shows the management style and attitude of Cardone. He is not a positive person and the way he tells his management to treat his employees is just unbearable. One employee posted his review of Cardone Industries on Glassdoor.com with a 1-star rating. He says that the only benefit of working at the Cardone Industries is that it is based in Philadelphia and the co-workers are friendly. However, there are many things that he did not like about this company. The interview process of this company is painfully long and they have unpredictable hiring cycles. The vision of the company is quite religious and they often do prayers during and between the meetings. They made him sign a 50+ page TnC document, which simply left him with no rights for himself. I believe this guy really knows what he is talking about as he has been working for Cardone Industries for 30 years. A current employee working at Cardone Industries said in her review that the management does not treat everyone equally and the women and minorities are given poorer treatment. The pay here is also one of the worst in the market and growth prospects are almost zero if you aren’t a “family” member. They have a narrow mindset which ensures that this company will not grow. There is a lot of inner politics in the workplace and it is extremely distracting. And that’s not it, the management is going to behave to you much differently if you aren’t a kissass. Another review I found quite interesting was of another current employee of Cardone Industries which was posted on 14th November 2016. It is also a 1-star review on Glassdoor.com and I really sympathize with this guy. He is a current sales employee at Cardone Industries and he has not received ANY of his commission checks. The CEO does not answer his appeal and simply ignores it. He mentions that the check he is talking about is from 2015 which is a year before this review was posted. In the last section, he adds that his fellow sales co-workers haven’t got their commissions as well. All these reviews show how poorly Grant Cardone treats his employees. His management techniques are harming the society, forcing work on people and NOT paying them is completely unacceptable. I think some legal action should be taken against this crazy f*cking maniac. The type of managers he is hiring are diplomatic idiots who do not care about hard work and only want people sucking up to them. In other words, Cardone hires those types of managers who are like him; it is as simple as that.

What he sells

Cardone University Grant has a big brand online and he monetizes it fully. Cardone University is one of his main products which fund his lavish lifestyle. It costs up to $19,815and one thing you should know is that IT IS NOT WORTH IT. Why? Because I had bought one of his courses and my experience was pathetic. I strongly advise you to look the other way whenever you see the “GC” icon imprinted on a product. It’s never worth it. Well, Cardone is a salesman and he sells a book for cheap to increase his influence. Once you will buy his books and/or start listening to him, he is going to impress you with his “stories”. And after that, he will give you a “call to action” which will either be to buy his other books, hire him or to join the Cardone University. As you will be impressed with Grant you will not hesitate to pay the crazy amount of money GC is asking and what you will get is, disappointment. He just tells the same stuff over and over again in all his content and the Cardone University is not an exception. Many people have done the mistake of joining his University and trust me, they regret it a lot. If you really want to know the advance sales techniques then buy other courses, books and podcasts online. There are much more efficient and affordable sources out there which are certainly going to help you. Books All his books are just full of life coaching BS and if you want some motivational content for entertainment, then go ahead and buy all his books. But if you really want some quality non-fiction technical books, I would advise you not to get GC’s books. His most popular books are the “10X Rule” and “Be Obsessed or Be Average”. Both of these books promote the reader to do an unhealthy amount of work with no planning. Hard work does not mean success but Grant will not tell you this, because his brand relies on it. He has constructed his books in such a way that they motivate the reader to buy Cardone’s other products. It is just a sales loop that he wants to trap you in and if you have a couple of thousand dollars to waste then I will not stop you from buying his books. How do I know all this? Because I found their reviews and one of my employees had bought the book “Be Obsessed or Be Average” when I had bought the course for my team. The numerous bad experiences of me and my fellow businessmen have taught us that Grant Cardone is a high-level thief and one should always stay wary of any of his companies or products.

Just avoid this guy!

Overall, Grant Cardone is running a huge scam. His products don’t deliver what they promise and his salespeople don’t know any manners or ethics. Cardone will go to any limits to steal money from you. I despise the day I had bought the course from GC University. I wish my experiences and others’ stories helped you gain an idea of how Grant Cardone is deceiving everyone and running a huge scam. Even now, do you really think Grant Cardone is legit?

Con Artist Warning

Beware! Mark A. Honn of Aurora, Illinois is a narcissistic con-artist who is a married monster with children. He is a maintenance man who slithers around looking for prey. He will tell you he is a ‘chief engineer’ but in reality he is a glorified janitor who spends much of his time knee-deep in raw sewage and feces – which is where he belongs. Do not believe his All-American/Captain America act. He is convincingly nice, but it is just a con who no one should believe. The nice guy is a front he uses so that no one will believe the monster that is underneath – part of the act is that he’s always a VICTIM. He is a raging alcoholic, a degenerate gambler, not to mention he has a bad haircut. He is an uneducated college dropout who had to join the military. He probably didn’t even succeed there. He tells everyone his wife made him quit the military – and he hates her for that. Who knows what the real story is. Mark was fired from one of his many jobs for sexting over 1,000 pages of smut with the office whore who we will call Woman#1. He called her ‘Bonita’ and she called him ‘Guapo’, they spent all day sexting and didn’t do any work. He got fired for sexting – copies of the sexts were found on Woman#1’s computer after she got canned. Mark begged for mercy and told the boss the reason he is an idiot was because he had a bad marriage. They regularly hooked up at the Red Roof Inn in Naperville, Illinois. Mark told anyone that would listen that he had a bad marriage and it was ‘his fault’ because he married a woman he never loved. Boo hoo, poor Mark. “Poor Mark” syndrome was born. He complained that he made $100k per year. The wife gave all the extra money to her family and Poor Mark only received a $20/week allowance (but apparently enough for a flea bag hotel). Poor Mark’s house was going to get foreclosed on! Enter Woman#2. She thinks he is amazing and wonderful. She wants to help “Poor Mark” with his pathetic life and situation. Mark is more than happy to entertain his next victim. Once he is fired for sexting with Woman#1, he told Woman#2 he was wronged by the company and this was all false and misconstrued. Woman #2 defended him to any and all . . . and he let her (much to her later embarrassment). Woman#2 is convinced the hero is being mistreated and proceeds to help him in every way she can. Mark senses this opportunity to con his next victim, which is a game to him. He’s always trying to top himself on the next available con. He tells Woman#2 that if he does handyman work at her home, he could convince his wife this was legit if she paid him $200/week. Woman#2 will do anything to help the hero escape from his ‘misery’ and proceeds to give him side work, and over $1000/mo since he wasn’t working and had family to feed. In addition to all the money, with love she gives him time away from his ‘horrible’ home life, unlimited expensive booze, cigarettes, home-cooked meals, sex, movies, lottery tickets, lunch money, gift cards, pocket money and anything else he might possibly need. She even went online and paid all his unpaid parking tickets so his car didn’t get towed. About a year into the “Save Mark” campaign, he admits to Woman#2 that he really did have an affair with Woman#1 (the office whore). Poor Mark said it was the second biggest mistake of his life – can you imagine what that list looks like? Even though her heart is broken, Woman#2 regretfully still loves this loser, as he manipulated her into thinking this was acceptable. This goes on for 1.5 years and during this time he spends all his free time with Woman#2 and ZERO time with his children, yet raves about what a great father he is. She continues to wait for him to make a true commitment to her but it never came. He was mean and verbally abusive one day and Woman #2 finally realizes it is time to cut this swindler loose. Poor Mark is pissed. Woman #2’s heart is broken. Mark waits a few weeks and with extremely cruel intent, tells Woman #2 he wants to come over. Woman#2 thinks he must miss her and love her. She could only hope. But of course Mark is a hustler, and he tells her exactly what she wants to hear in an attempt to keep her hooked. He tells her he is getting divorced and will have a lot of free time. Mark has even calculated the 32% child support he will have to pay. Woman#2 is thrilled and of course falls for his lies and says she will support him 100%. Make no mistake, he is a con-artist and doesn’t love you. He isn’t capable. So Poor Mark left with the loot and her heart. On to his next victim. I cannot stress enough how you should steer clear of this plague of a person. He is like a succubus and, like a bad alien movie, will suck all your resources dry. Read the full article

Robert Posner is an Adulterer and a Fraud

Hello, I want to tell the world about a home wrecker, a selfish, sexist and cruel person who is not done breaking up families and taking advantage of women with his money power. Meet Robert Posner. He is a CEO at New Day USA and Chrysalis Holdings LLC. You can’t miss him if you search online for him. Here’s how he broke my friend’s family and wrecked at least 4 lives. Rob Posner met Zina Roberts who was married during a trip to Chicago. He asked her to come and style his wardrobe for him over a weekend. Zina accepted. She went on Robert’s private plane, where he told her that there was no styling assignment and he simply wanted to get to know her better. He took her to his vacation home in Turks and Cacos. Zina was married and living with her husband and two daughters in Chicago. Zina who is a gold digger then proceeded to have sex with Robert over the entire weekend. She then came back to Chicago and pretended to her husband that she was simply on an assignment. Their secret affair continued for months. Robert continued to woo Zina with gifts and loving calls and messages, knowing fully that she was already married, and he was breaking up a family. Finally, Zina accidentally sent a text message to her husband with a photo of herself in lingerie and open legs. Lenny (Zina’s husband) found out the truth and was devastated. He tried to persuade Zina to go to a marriage counselor, break up with Robert and keep her family intact. Their two daughers were in elementary school and high school. Zina refused. Robert then rented a $10k per month home in Illinois for Zina to live in. He told Zina, “Don’t worry. Just buy Ralph Lauren frames and put your daughter’s photos in them and they will feel right at home”. Zina did exactly that. She moved out and left her husband. Her daughters split their time between their father and Zina. Zina then spoke to me about how to negotiate a monthly salary from Robert. She wanted to quit her job at a retail store. I told her she needed to negotiate $30k per month. Robert offered her $10k, but she said that was too low. Since then, I have worked closely with Zina to help ‘close’ Robert on marriage. I wanted Zina to have the lifestyle of a billionaire’s wife. Zina wanted that also. Prioir to this, Zina also had an affair with a co worker and never told her husband about it. She almost got caught by Lenny but managed escaping that situation. Zina also had another man who she was seeing (although she was not having sex with him) simply because he gave her Chanel purses. So, my point is this…. New Day USA and Chrysalis Holdings have a CEO who is a home wrecker. He wrecked a family’s home and stole a hold-digging wife from her loving husband and two lovely daughters. He thinks he can buy everyone, including people. It works for those who are hungry for his money. I have finally gone public with this information now in spite of my warnings to his board of directors. Unfortunately, they did nothing. Perhaps tey are complicit in this action. Perhaps they are just cowards who wouldn’t let go of a man who makes millions for them. Perhaps if they did go public with this, many other stories from their own organization would come up and there will be hell to pay in damages. A company which claims to serve veterans are now actively shielding a sexual predator and a home wrecker. Now they will have to answer to the world. This is not an ‘I told you so’ moment. This may harm their company, but that was never my intention. All I ever wanted is hoping that pressure builds and that Robert corrects his horrible behavior. What he did was unethical, cruel and immoral. With that I have heard, this was not the first home he wrecked. He is a habitual offender. He has gone on to break families and con women because he can afford to. His disregard for human values is disgusting and he must be stopped. Remember, If he can do this to a woman he met socially, I am sure there must be stories about his predator and cruel nature that his female colleagues and employees will want to share with everyone. I hope my post goes to Robert’s board of directors. If you know them and have read this post, please make sure they know. Read the full article

Warning do not buy a wig from this company

I never leave reviews. I wanted to warn other buyers about this scamming company. So that they do not waste they're hard earned money like I did. I just recently spent approx $1300 US dollars on one of there invisible wigs that looks incredibly fake. It's really square and bulky around the top part of the head, which means it doesn't sit flat on my head. The wig looks absolutely nothing like the Instagram pictures, videos and youtube demonstrations. Doesn't fit properly or sit flat to the head. The straps cover the ears and the fabric bunches up at the side of the head. Totally unwearable as it looks more like a hat. Very fake and unnatural looking. The hair is also very low quality tangles and sheds excessively. Not to mention the illusion hairline is also nothing like the images on their website. This invisible wig from them didn't even last 2 months. Already at the my hair line there are two huge bold spots and in the center of the wig. I'm so annoyed because this wig was a real investment for me. These wigs are ridiculously overpriced and the customer service is poor. SAVE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY STAY AWAY!!! Read the full article

Beware of Neil Patel and His Companies!

Neil Patel, one of the most popular faces in the digital marketing industry, is actually a big scammer. He is selling lies in good packaging and people are buying them. I used to respect Neil because of his digital products and the knowledge he shares everywhere. But after I discovered his true methods, I lost all my faith in him. Neil Patel is a hypocrite. He tells everyone to avoid black hat SEO but he is actually providing the services of the same. His blog might look interesting and his YouTube channel might get a lot of views, but it doesn’t mean that Neil’s own services are ethical and trustworthy.

I have worked with him. And from my experience, I can guarantee you that Neil is running a big level scam and he is lying openly. The tactics he shares on his blog are useless and his biggest tool to cheat people is his consulting business. Take my word for it; do anything but hire Neil Patel for your business’s marketing. You might get impressed by all the stats he keeps rubbing on everyone’s face and how he paints a picture of being a ‘serial entrepreneur’ and a ‘digital marketing expert’. The reality is quite horrific and different. He has built his empire on criminal activities and stealing people’s money. His services are the worst ones in the market. I won’t say that he isn’t a marketing expert. No, Neil Patel knows how to market his brand and reach more people but he uses that knowledge and technology for the wrong activities. There are hundreds of thousands of people who think of Neil Patel as an inspiration, I used to be one of them, but he doesn’t deserve that respect. He is a sham and I hope this article will give you a glimpse of the same. In case you don’t know who Neil is: Before I begin to describe my experiences, it is essential that you get familiar with Neil first. If you already know who Neil is, you can skip this section. Neil Patel was born on 24th April 1985 in London. His parents moved to Orange County Cali on 1987. According to his bio, he lived in a middle-class family where his mother was an unpaid teacher and father a normal guy with a 9-5. He says that his uncles were rich people and they always rubbed their wealth on his parent’s faces, and this leads him into entrepreneurship. Neil Patel is the owner of KISSmetrics, NeilPatelDigital and QuickSprout. All of them are major digital marketing companies. They provide you with software solutions and consulting services to help your brand in digital growth. I haven’t tried his software, and I’m not planning to, but I have tried his consulting business. I promise you, it was one of the biggest mistakes of my business to hire Neil Patel Digital. I have explained my experiences in detail in the next section. He makes a lot of claims on his Quora answer on “Who is Neil Patel?” but I don’t think that most of those claims are real. He speaks a lot of bullshit on his Quora answer and I’m not going to just say all that here. I have to say that this guy is freaking rich, but what I don’t like is his sources of revenue. He cheats people online and makes false promises, which is something that should be addressed as soon as possible. He has built a huge brand on the internet and he uses it to bait more customers. In fact, many people think of him as a thought leader in the digital marketing arena. Before I got cheated, I also used to think of Neil as a respectable and authoritative person. I was very wrong.

How Neil Patel’s Agency Cheated with Me

Ok, I have had two bad experiences with Neil Patel and his companies. I will explain each of them in detail so you can be certain of how pathetic and depraved Neil Patel’s businesses are. My first experience was with Neil Patel Digital, his internet marketing agency. My second experience is actually indirect. My sister had bought one of his courses and realized how pathetic Neil Patel’s courses are. First, let me discuss what happened to me. I used to run an eCommerce store on athletic gear. It was going good, everything was ok but I wanted to increase its growth. I had reached some sort of plateau and I wanted to climb higher. The problem was, my competitor always used to rank higher than my site, no matter what I did. I thought about learning a little more of SEO, but one of my friends, who was also working on my site, recommended me to contact Neil Patel. I have known about Neil Patel since 2011. I already knew a little about Neil Patel at that time. He was a respected guy in the industry and there was no reason for me to doubt his expertise. If you’re like, “Come on, that’s not possible”. Trust me, if you’d visit his website right now and take a look at his branding and marketing, you’ll also get fooled. It’s really difficult to see through his lies and realize that his whole marketing business is a sham. Well, I went to his website, NeilPatel.com, which was founded recently at that time, and browsed through the various articles present. I was already impressed because Neil Patel’s content is present on KISSMetrics, Search Engine Journal and other reputed platforms. I contacted them and got a reply quickly. I discussed my project requirements with them and everything was going good. They first took an advance of $45,000 for marketing my business. I didn’t hesitate at first because it was Neil Patel, the biggest digital marketing brand. Now that I think of it, I was acting like a fool all the time. I didn’t hesitate to check the credibility of Neil Patel’s services. I didn’t hesitate to pay them the advance because I thought they are going to deliver results. I was a fool to trust this guy so easily. They got started on my project and did a little tweak here and there. They developed a strategy for my website, audited the current SEO health of my site and then, suggested a few implementations. During the first few days, I thought I had hired a bunch of robots to work with me. They used to work fast and hard. The problem was not this, it was something else. They did some implementations and within 2 months, my website was ranking on the number one spot for the keywords I desired. I was glad, way more glad than I should have been. I thought I had made a good decision to hire Neil Patel and his agency. I happily paid them the rest of the amount (around $55,000) and told them that it was great working with them. They gave me a few suggestions and I started following them. Everything was going good but within 2 weeks of my site reaching the top, it vanished from the search rankings. My site’s organic traffic count dropped all of a sudden. I thought it was some error but no, Google had PENALIZED MY WEBSITE. This freaking guy had done some malicious activities to push my site’s ranking. I should have known that Neil Patel was a fraud. But they acted so coolly and professional, that it became nearly impossible to see the reality behind their lies. Google penalized my website for using black hat SEO tactics. All my marketing efforts and strategies went in vain. When I did a little research, I found that my website was getting traffic from irrelevant places and the kind of traffic it was getting was not useful in any sense. All the SEO success Neil Patel had promised to deliver was false. Not only that, his team had filled my website with useless and crappy content so it will rank for keywords with more ease and accuracy. To be honest, they used a lot of illegal tactics to promote my website. All they cared for was showing me some results so I will pay them readily. At least I thought that because when I contacted Neil Patel’s agency about my project, they told me that it must have been a cyber attack from one of my competitors. They started telling me to hire them again so they can fix this issue and get my site on the number place in the search engine result pages (SERPs). I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. They were acting as if I was some ignorant baby boomer who had never used the internet in his whole goddamn life!! They thought they could fool me with all the jargon-filled nonsense about cyber attacks and technical SEO. When I contacted another digital marketing agency for my website, they first laughed at me for using black hat SEO and then they told me that they will repair the website but it will take some time. Neil Patel himself says that SEO takes 21 months to show results. But he is a hypocrite. His agency is looking for ways to get money from businesses. He has created this fictional personality of being a good guy and a digital entrepreneur while in reality, he is nothing more than an online scammer. He boasts a lot about his expertise on his website and how he is able to rank so high. This helps him attract businesses like mine so he can work with us. Beware of Neil Patel because he is not a simple fraudster. He took around $95,000 from my company and gave me fake results for the same. His SEO implementations were supposed to enhance the growth of my company. But instead, they only depreciated it further and increased my expenses. They are so arrogant that they thought I will fall for their tricks again. They have contacted me many times after the incidence of the progress of my website and how they can get me back on the number one place. But I have already suffered enough losses. And that’s not all. My sister also lost a lot of her precious time and energy because of a Neil Patel product.

Quick Sprout University – A Synonym of Disappointment

You know enough about Neil Patel for understanding what quality he would provide in his “university”. His latest product is ‘QuickSprout University’ which is supposed to teach people about getting crazy traffic to their website and get followers. After my experience with Neil, I didn’t even think once before blocking all his websites, but my sister signed up for it as she didn’t know about my incident. And just like I expected, she realized her mistake soon enough. She purchased this product because she wanted to learn more about search engine ranking and other marketing stuff. The ‘marketing expert’ Neil is not the coach in the Quick Sprout University! It is some guy called Brian Dean. This fact itself is a big betrayal, as this course is marketed by Neil himself and no one will think that Neil will NOT be the coach of the course if he is selling it. The QuickSprout University covers social media, email marketing, paid advertising, email marketing, conversion optimization, reputation management, link building, SEO and conversion optimization. It has many videos which start with a funny intro, however, there is NOTHING ELSE of value. The maximum length of the videos is around 6 mins and there are only a few written articles provided. They don’t have any kind of introduction video which shows what they will be teaching in the course and explain who the hell Brian Dean is. But that’s not all. Neil makes simple and easy to understand content, but this time his content is WAY TOO SIMPLE. So simple that it does not provide any f*cking value to the user. This University is just one of the worst products I have seen from Neil but it seems that this guy doesn’t want to improve and just uses his brand to fuel his lavish lifestyle. There is NO support in the QuickSprout University and their “money back guarantee” is extremely shady as there is no one you can contact if you want your money back. The videos’ length is so short that it does not provide value and don’t explain any topic in depth. And the lack of any organization makes it really difficult to navigate through this course. Finally, who the f*ck charges this much money for a course that provides little to no value! Neil gets away with a LOT of stuff and it seems QuickSprout Uni is just one of those things. I’m very surprised at the number of DUMB people who trust Neil Patel even after buying his useless content. When my sister realized her mistake, she wanted a refund but guess what? There is no support on this whole freaking website and thus, there is NO WAY you can get a refund. This whole business model is based on trapping innocent people into buying his expensive course and then not being able to get a refund. The worst thing is that only a few intelligent people will realize that Neil is tricking them.

Insulting Women in his ads

Neil Patel does not have any values other than money and getting more followers on social media. However, he crossed all the limits when he published an advertisement which was just offending. Here is the ad that I’m talking about: Shocked? Well, everyone in the internet community was shocked as well. He ran this advert on a large scale and it was promoted like his every other ad campaign. The issue with this advertisement is completely obvious, he isn’t just saying that sex sells, but he is also implying that the girl in the advertisement is so helpless and slutty that if Neil wouldn’t have hired her, she would be posing naked for magazines. This is pure sexism and an insult to all the women. I think this advert perfectly showcases Patel’s real mentality towards women. What do you think, by the way, was this advertisement appropriate or Neil shouldn’t have even launched it in the first place?

A Fake Brand to Hide His Lies

There is no way that you found out about Neil Patel from any other sources but from his social media accounts. I can guarantee that. Why? Because this guy spends A LOT of money on marketing his social media profiles and uses blackhat marketing techniques to keep his profiles as much as visible as possible. If you are the 0.1% who believes that Neil Patel is a white hat marketer then this section is going to hurt your feelings mate. Because that simply isn’t true. Neil Patel uses black hat SEO marketing tools to keep his social media rankings higher than his competitors. Many people believe that Neil is posting organic content and that is why his rankings are so high, but that is not that case. I have explained his social media profiles down below: YouTube

Neil Patel has around 300k subscribers on YouTube but most of his subscribers are actually from dummy accounts that he bought in the early days of YouTube, when the YT security was not very high. These accounts are VERY EXPENSIVE but money is not a problem for this guy, cause he is making a lot of it from selling his useless courses and services. Many people are going to question saying,” How can you say that Neil is using fake subscribers? What proof do you have?” So for that, I’m going to leave a screenshot down below, which is of Neil Patel’s YouTube videos page. And as you can see it merely has a couple of thousand views, whereas an organic channel has much more views.

For example, here is a YT channel with a similar number of subscribers and as you can see he has much more views than that of Neil Patel, Why? Because he is not using fake subscribers!

Instagram

Instagram is one of the biggest social media platforms however, it is not as old as YouTube. Thus, it is way more difficult to get fake followers and likes here. And that is why Neil Patel only has around 10k followers. This also explains why he only got around 7-10k views on his YouTube videos, it is because that is his reach. He mainly uses Instagram for running spam adverts, as a lot of young people use Instagram and they are easy to manipulate (especially for a guy like Neil). Twitter

Finally comes his Twitter, which is not as new as Instagram and Neil have taken full advantage of this fact. He bought followers on Twitter when it was new. As you can see he has been in social media for a long a*s time, he made his Twitter account way back in 2007 and Twitter was not quite mature back then. So Neil must have bought followers using illegal dark web websites. His tweets are just promos of his YouTube channel and courses. And the screenshot below shows that he does not get much engagement here as well (which is a big red flag for dummy followers).

All in All

This freaking guy thinks he can rob many businesses by pulling off such ridiculous stunts. What he doesn’t know is that not everyone will fall prey to his marketing schemes. People aren’t blind, Neil. And he should know that better than anybody else as he spends so much time on the internet. It took me a lot of hard work and patience to get where I was. Neil Patel’s agency not only took $95,000 from me but also ruined all of my hard work. I just hope that no other business or start-up has to suffer because of this digital scammer. Hasn’t he done enough?

Cameron Lobban Bitcoin Scammer Almost Stole Millions

Friends today i am going to introduce a big bitcoin scammer, Site name is Scammer.info. This site moderator name is Cameron Lobban as you can find them. As we all know that Bitcoin is the greatest scam in history. These guys are scamming people through bitcoin and many more. Friends, don't worry required action has already been taken, escalated and registered all information to Federal Trade Commission under act Decrypting Cryptocurrency Scams. address: 181SePxEdo85qEdn9CjkAckWPTYwy7ayK3 Website Name: https://www.scammer.info/d/5124-donations-via-btc The cryptocurrency craze has grown exponentially over the past few years. With dozens of coins surpassing $1 billion in market cap and bitcoin in the hundreds of billions, there’s a lot of money flying around. And wherever there’s lots of money, there are plenty of criminals ready to pounce. Scammers and hackers see the cryptocurrency market as ripe for the picking and we’re seeing lots of bitcoin scams pop up. What’s more, users are extra keen to get in on the action so they don’t miss out on the next big thing. With crazy volatility in the markets, promises of large returns don’t seem that far-fetched. Combined, these factors can lead to some poor decision-making and people falling for scams more easily. As such, it’s hugely important to keep your wits about you when dealing with any bitcoin transactions. For example, you wouldn’t open up a bank account with an institution you’ve never heard of. Similarly, you shouldn’t hand over money to an exchange that just happened to pop up in your Facebook feed. With a little savvy and a lot of common sense, you can navigate the cryptocurrency field as safely and securely as possible. In this post, we’ll delve into the types of scams we’ve been seeing, including plenty of real examples. This way you’ll know what to look out for to avoid falling into similar traps yourself. We’ll then provide some additional tips to help you stay safe and secure in the cryptocurrency market. Let’s jump in! Coin exchanges Coin exchanges offer a place for people to buy bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in exchange for fiat currencies or altcoins. Some of the most popular exchanges include Bitstamp, Bitfinex, and Coinbase. Since the cryptocurrency field is so new, all exchanges can pretty much be considered relative newcomers. It’s therefore difficult to know who to trust based on reputation alone. Even with the most reputable exchanges, bad things happen and people lose a lot of money, often the exchanges themselves. Here are some example situations in which people have lost money through coin exchanges. Fake or questionable operations - Probably the worst cases are when the people behind the exchanges have negative intentions from the outset. Read the full article

Brinkley Davies Kangaroo Killer

Everyone knows Brinkley Davies is an internet deception. Her proclamations include being an environmental warrior but truth be told she is a liar, a thief and a fame-seeker. This is not just a personal opinion, I really dont have an opinion of a person like her, but from the many, many user blogs about her online. IGNORE the interviews set up for her by her manager. It’s greenwashing at its finest. Brinkley Davies, at the lack of mercy of her former Instagram followers, has been ousted as a deceptive and terrible human being. Among her many traits: a stealer of charitable donation money from volunteers of Keiko Conservation and the bullying of Hawaiian conservationist Natalie Parra, who suffers from a partially degenerative immune disorder. LEGIT. That is the Brinkley Davies the internet knows. The latest thing? She drove her car so recklessly along the South Australian coastline that she crashed straight into a Kangaroo carrying a joey. She killed the mother. Before pulling the joey out of the pouch AND TAKING IT HOME, she found just enough time to get out her GoPro and start filming her “heroic” actions. She copped a lot of slack from her Instagram followers and went on a comment deleting spree before posting a photo and caption exempting herself from any wrong doing: “People hit kangaroos all the time.” Etc. She claimed it was an accident and that she is a safe driver. However, a Dirty Oz fan dug up some serious info about her before the OP sent it off to The Dirty – Brinkley has lost her licence before for the manner in which she drives. If thats not bad enough, THE NEXT DAY, she crashed her car into the ocean and leaked petrol through the SA coastline… WHILE THE BABY JOEY WAS IN THE CAR. Check out this repost from Nik @ TheDirty.com: THE DIRTY ARMY: Nik, so people are pissed at Brinkley Davies and I think this is the end of her. Shes meant to be some environmentalist but as previous posts on here show us and if her search history is correct she has done nothing but steal other peoples pictures and donations money to pay her own living expenses and win photography competitions. She bullied a girl with an auto immune disease and then tried to sick her social media followers on her too but it backfired. Now she has started a vlogging channel and her first video is about how she drove her car recklessly along a pristine beach, got it bogged and the car was swallowed up by the sea. Another petrol guzzler in the ocean. All while she is campaigning against oil rigging in the ocean, hahaha. Before they crashed their car into the sea, Brinkley and her boyfriend also crashed into a mama Kangaroo carrying a young joey and KILLED IT, documented how they “saved” the baby and she is now parading the joey around and calling herself a “Kangaroo mum.” She is acting like some saint when she literally killed that kangaroo and instead of taking the baby to a wildlife carer she is keeping it for her youtube videos. She says it was an accident but the next day they crashed the car into the ocean. It shows they were taking no care with their driving. Her public search history also shows she once lost her license in 2013 sometime. The baby joey sleeps in a bag for crying out loud. Take it to a shelter! What kind of sicko is this person? Anything for views, followers. She seems so great on the outside but she is totally demented. And these brands like Patagonia, Reef, GoPro, Live Lokai and anyone else working with her is 100% complicit in her behavior if they dont cut ties. I’m done with the whole thing. She’s also naked all over the internet and even has a page where shes trying to become an actor, yet says she doesnt want celebrity, just wants to make a difference. Why try to be an actor then? Now shes tagging car companies in her posts hoping for a free car. Get a job and buy one you scammer! Your caught out Brinkley! Hopefully now she goes away. Read the full article

Sam Ovens - Maker of the most useless course EVER

A 30 under 30 entrepreneur and a big inspiration to many, Sam Ovens is nothing more than a cheapstake who lies regularly and follows unethical practices. He has made a fortune selling courses on client acquisition and business growth. But the main problem is, it doesn’t matter whether his students succeed or not. Sam Ovens is an irresponsible teacher and a lying scum. He has betrayed many people, he runs a scamming company and his courses give you nothing. His business model is based on giving you a highly costing course and give you a useless plan to follow. You’ll end up panicking because of the various tasks the courses tell you to do and even if you do everything they say, there’s no guarantee that you’ll succeed. Sam Ovens’ courses are not only a waste of money but also of time and resources. I can say this because I had taken one of his courses myself. It’s called “Uplevel Consulting’ and I can promise you, it was one of the most pathetic and worthless hours of my life. I have seen many scammers online and Sam is just the same. He runs a malicious scam and that’s why it’s absolutely necessary that you heed my advice. DON’T BUY COURSES FROM SAM. You might not believe in me, but I’m telling the truth. And I’m not the only person who feels the same way. There are hundreds of others who have lost their hard-earned money and precious time because of Sam’s courses. His business model works but only for himself. You’ll be the paying the heavy price for all of his earnings. The bad news is, he is so deceptive that it becomes nearly impossible for innocent people to identify whether he is really a scam or not. He has created a powerful online brand by gaining recognition from leading brands and generating a plethora of content for gaining followers. Due to his near-perfect online brand, people hesitate to question his methods. And these people also ignore the advice of those who have suffered because of Sam’s scams. His whole ‘Consulting.com’ is a sham and a mischievous organization to steal money from others.

Who is Sam Ovens?

The reality behind the fake persona of Sam Ovens is quite harsh. Those who believe in him and his methods might question my words but if they would think logically and get rid of the emotions, they will also see that Sam is a total FRAUD. He has been cheating people since the very beginning and he has spent lavishly on creating a fake personality for this brand. It’s hard to gain someone’s trust but like any other con artist, Sam knows how to gain one’s trust. He has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, Forbes and many other leading publications as a renowned entrepreneur. But the problem is, they all are telling the story which Sam told them to. They don’t know the reality behind Sam and his disgraceful business model as well. So what is Sam’s story anyway? According to his Forbes profile, Sam had dropped out of college, he quit his corporate job and started a business with no investors or capital. The bio further adds that he grow an e-learning business to $10 million by the time he reached the age of 26. This story seems legitimate. He got named in the 30 under 30 list of Forbes Asia. Such a story and list of achievements can deceive anyone. What many people fail to realize is the fact that the products sold by his company, which are responsible for his success, are not what he claims to be. The course is supposed to help people in building businesses or accelerating the growth of their existing businesses. But the reality is, they are just a few jargon-filled and useless courses which provide negligible value to the user. The methodology is poor and the customer service is devastating. The courses don’t work for most people. And even if they do, they are designed in such a way that you will end up getting another one, which will leave you more confused. He has designed his company’s courses in such a way that you will end up buying all of them in the hope that you will make progress with your business. While the reality is, it will only help Sam in growing strongly. His online persona aids his business model and helps him in attracting numerous customers to fill his pockets.

Sold me a worthless course for $2,000!

Sam is a great marketer, there’s no doubt about that. If he wasn’t such a great marketing expert then he wouldn’t have been able to cheat so many people. He has created a large online following and a vast network of entrepreneurs to make sure that people don’t see him as the bad guy. He lies but he lies with such cunning that people aren’t able to realize that they are the victims of a scammer. How do I know all this? That’s because I run a business myself and I’m one of the past students of Sam Ovens’ consulting dot com. I had found out about his Consulting.com and its programs seemed quite impressive. Just take a look at the description of his ‘Uplevel Consulting’ program, and you’ll see what I mean. Here is an excerpt from the same: “It is a 9-week online course with physical workbooks.....The course shows you how to scale using systems.” It was just a small introduction. I left out the details because Sam is notorious in the market for slapping people with the DMCA notice or a defamation suit if you quote any one of these products (or pages). The course descriptions also tell you that it is for established businesses which have customers. It will help you scale your business to 7-figures with the use of automation, PPC ads and predictable systems. A course from a leading marketer and such promise is sure to catch one’s attention. It lured me too and joining it was a huge mistake on my part. I first signed up for the course’s free trial. It contains a lot of material. And by a lot, I really mean a huge quantity. The courses touch a lot of subjects in the beginning and give you tasks to complete. You have to complete the tasks if you want to make progress in the course. But the content is laid out so poorly that it gets really annoying to keep up with everything. Apart from that, you also get access to a group of entrepreneurs when you join his courses. The group is full of yesmen who keep praising Sam on a regular basis and if you ask them a question they simply tell you that it would be better if you did it yourself, otherwise there’s no use of taking the course. In the end, you’re left alone, handling your business and taking this shitty course which teaches you something you can’t understand. It took me a lot of effort to get through the initial stages of his ‘Uplevel Consulting’ course. In the course, he uses jargon often but doesn’t explain what they are and how they are related to your business. I used to spend hours trying to comprehend what Sam was teaching me. In the 25 days of the 30-day trial, I had made little progress in the course. I was disappointed in myself but I realized that I shouldn’t take this course. It just wasn’t the right fit for me. But how can I escape the jaws of this scammer. Because of his course, I wasn’t able to focus properly on my business. When I started following a few of his suggestions, my business began to face some serious setbacks. I asked the community for help and thought there must be some mistake in my implementations. But I received zero helpful responses from the group. I have begun to doubt that the ‘entrepreneur groups’ are filled with bots who keep chatting with each other and give automated responses. Either the real entrepreneurs don’t have the time to say there or they just don’t exist. Anyway, when I began to face losses because of Sam’s advice, I stopped using them. I lost a $17,000 client because of the advice Sam had told me to follow. Sam had discussed using new and innovative ways to generate clients. I ended up losing one because the client was no longer comfortable with our new working style. I lost his business and after that Incidence, I stopped following Sam’s advice. My free trial had already ended and I had already lost $697 to Sam and his company. So I went ahead with his course. In the second half of the course, I realized why I failed so miserably in its execution, the course’s material was way outdated. The marketing techniques and the discussed methods are no longer viable in the current industry. It’s almost as if Sam hasn’t even touched the course after creating it. The marketing tactics and the management advice I had followed at first was no longer effective. That’s why I lost a lot of business including a $17,000 client. His courses are outdated and full of useless information. They are just packaged nicely so you would think “Wow, what an amazing course.” He is a marketer who is selling trash which is covered in a nice wrapping paper. And that’s why he is a scammer. That’s what scammers do. They promise you the world and deliver you nothing. Sam is just like that. I was very depressed and disappointed when I realized the reality behind the course of Sam. It was supposed to be an effective course for businesses but it really is a compilation of useless advice which is no longer effective. When I contacted the customer support and described my situation, they said I should take the other course they offer. I was like, ‘What do you mean? Are you telling me that this course isn’t helpful?” They said, “It would be better if you took this course after Consulting Accelerator and for the best results, you should take Quantum Mastermind too.” They meant to tell me that their course didn’t provide me with any value unless I bought two other courses. Wasn’t the course supposed to be for businesses? Wasn’t it supposed to help businesses in accelerating their growth? I had read the description of his preceding course called Consulting Accelerator, and I know the basics he has shared in that course. I don’t need to learn the basics of setting up a business. I was already running a successful business. I only wanted to go ahead and enhance its growth. Like I told you, I worked with the course for weeks. But no matter how much effort I put into it, it didn’t give me anything of value. So I concluded that it’s a useless piece of crap which shouldn’t be marketed this way. All the things Sam promises to you on his webinars and websites are lies. He has created these super-expensive courses just so you will purchase them, spend weeks thinking what are they teaching you and end up losing a great deal of money. If you ask me, this is a smart method to steal money from people. He markets his courses as they give you some advanced knowledge while in reality, they are full of useless information which doesn’t make any sense. Your whole free trial will be spent in comprehending what the course is telling you about. By the time you realize that the course doesn’t give you anything of value, you would have invested too much of your money and your trial would have expired. So, you lose your hundreds of dollars and at least a month of your productive time while Sam gets to keep the money and remain undisturbed. Due to its complexity, it is rather difficult for many people to identify the scam. Such deceptive people should be thrown in jail. We punish politicians for lying by throwing them out of power but Sam doesn’t get any punishment for lying to the people. I believe a fraud and scumbag like Sam Ovens should be thrown in jail and tried in court. Only then he will come to his senses.

Allegations and Complaints

There are many other people, apart from me, who have been cheated by Sam and his company, Consulting.com. People complain about poor customer service as well as thievery of their funds. Sam Ovens is popular as a scam. The number of people who know his reality isn’t that small. In fact, this number is considerably huge. Here is an interesting stat, Sam Ovens’ name is quite popular as a scam throughout the world.

In Google Trends, the term ‘Sam Ovens Scam’ is one of the most trending terms containing his name. This means there are many people who doubt the legitimacy of this man’s products. And they should, because Sam really is a scammer who has been cheating money from people for years and he has been using those funds to further fuel his nefarious schemes. One person had complained about the low quality of customer service his company has. The customer service didn’t respond to the queries of the person. And when the complainer had requested for a refund, the customer service simply stretched the conversation for so long that the trial period ended and the guy was forced to pay Sam and Consulting.com. Another person had a similar experience. He had taken part in the Consulting Accelerator program but he didn’t find anything of value in the course. So he contacted the customer support of the company and requested them to initiate his refund. They sent him an email telling him to try the product for at least a few more days before he can get the refund. He refused. He waited for some time but did not receive the refund. When he contacted the credit card company, they told him that there can’t be any reversal. Apparently, Sam’s company had sent him some emails and they were present in the complainer’s ‘Spam’ folder. Therefore, Sam had proper evidence as to why he couldn’t initiate a refund. You should head towards the ‘Sources’ listed below the article to find more complaints from his past customers. You will find that he has scammed many people in the past and the worst thing is, he is keeping it up without any kind of remorse or hesitation. Most of the complaints about Sam and his products are regarding stealing of funds and poor response from customer support. However, the number of people complaining about his courses’ contents isn’t small as well. He lied to one customer and told her that he will give her a refund even after the trial period if she stayed for a while longer. You can guess what happened next. She never received a refund and she lost a hefty sum of a few thousand dollars to Sam.

Sam Oven's online presence

There’s a reason why Sam methods work. He is able to attract many customers for his companies and increase the number of victims for his fishy plans because of social media. Social media has helped Sam a lot in attracting innocent people and in hiding his real identity from the users. His large number of following on these platforms is because of his daunting number of accomplishments. If a person gets featured in the Forbes 30 under 30, it shows that the person is worth following. It is a sad truth that Sam Ovens is one of the few guys who has fooled everyone through his shady business tactics. As I said earlier, finding out the reality behind the scam of Sam Ovens is really difficult. He has created his scam meticulously and it becomes increasingly difficult to identify the various unethical practices for a new guy if he isn’t familiar with Sam’s products. However, there are many people who have suffered losses because of Sam Ovens. You can find innumerable complaints him and his company online. To hide these complaints, he uses social media platforms. Take a look at his Instagram profile for example:

You will notice that he has 81k followers. Now that number isn’t big, but the large verification tag alongside his name shows him as a trustworthy person. No one would suspect that he is running one of the biggest online scams on the planet. Believe me, if somebody told me that Sam Ovens was a scammer before all these incidents, I wouldn’t have believed that person either.

His Twitter Profile isn’t that big, however. It shows that either his marketing tactics aren’t fooling anyone or he is too new for Twitter. Twitter has more organic users than Instagram. Therefore, gaining followers is a difficult task for anyone.

On his YouTube channel, he posts videos for promoting his e-learning products. He has plenty of followers here as well. As you can see in the picture above, the number of his channel’s subscribers is 56k. It will increase in the future because Sam has the purchasing power (thanks to his scams) and the resources to boost his following. With the kind of money Sam has at this moment, one can buy followers on these social media platforms too. So it wouldn’t surprise me if Sam’s followers on these platforms turned out to be fake. Because the number of people Sam has scammed until now isn’t small. And many of these people have voiced their opinions on different platforms. Sam has put a lot of effort into hiding his true identity from the market. But it is essential for people to see his true side. I don’t want other innocent people to lose their hard-earned money and time to this vicious guy. I hope my experience will help you make a better choice. Sam Ovens’ scams aren’t stopping anytime soon but the least we can do is make more people aware of his schemes. Don’t you agree?
